Startup Aotearoa Validation Lab: Thursday

Four founders have been selected to explore that question live from the Startup Week campus. Based in a prominent corner of Pipiri Lane, these founders will be validating (and developing) their startup ventures via live testing, survey research and user conversation from Monday through Thursday.

But they need your help!

“Office hours” are open each day between 11am and 1pm for you to wander through the lab, asking questions, testing their MVPs and offering advice or feedback. Share your perspectives, ask the challenging questions, poke holes in their assumptions or lend them some encouragement and optimism - whatever feels more natural to you!
